Laughing White Mmp-1

Based on a true story, this novel by the author of Anatomy of a Murder tells of the attempt by Laughing Whitefish, a 19th century Chippewa woman, to win monies due her from the sale of her father's iron mine to white settlers 14 years earlier. Whitefish's gentle, tenderfoot lawyer is William Poe, who quickly falls in love with his client. ""It takes nearly 300 pages for Poe to win the case and get the girl, but there is enough here to keep readers entertained,'' PW found. (April)
